I have a table and that I need to update one column by add to the front of each row.As an example I currently has "Mydata" I want to add 2008 to all rows to show "2008Mydata". How do I add these 4 characters to the front of each row.

Thank you!

Assuming the data you wish to do this to is a text or varchar field..

Update [Table]
Set [Column] = '2008' + [Column]






Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
